Franklin Sports Steel Frame All-Weather Rebounder Net

Practice doesn’t have to end the minute you leave your team’s playing field. If you have the proper equipment, you can continue practicing and improving your skills at home. One must-have piece of equipment that will help you achieve your goals is a rebounder net. It works by bouncing the ball back to the player, so that he or she can continue to work on their sport when no other players are available to practice with.

As you search for the perfect rebounder net, first consider the specific sport you want to work on. For example, the Aceletiqs Lacrosse Practice Rebounder Net is designed for lacrosse players only, so if you play baseball, this net wouldn’t be a good fit. Other models on the market, however, can also be used for soccer, baseball, softball and even basketball.

Make sure you’re purchasing a high-quality rebounder net if you want it to last. The Rukket Sports Pitchback Training Screen & Rebounder Net is an excellent choice, as it features a 1.25-inch powder-coated metal frame that is held together using heavy-duty carriage bolt fasteners. Even the bungees are protected by a mesh covering, so you know you’re getting a top-of-the-line net that is made to last.

Check how easy the rebounder net is to assemble and whether or not it has any extra features. For example, some nets set up in just 2 minutes and are fully adjustable, giving players a choice of seven different angles. On the other hand, there are options that come with a neon-orange target, which is helpful if you need to practice your aim.

• Just like any other piece of sporting equipment, you’ll want to take good care of your rebounder net. Give the net a thorough inspection once a month, so you can address any minor issues before they become major problems. Stainless steel cleaning wipes can be used on the net’s metal frame if it begins to look a bit dirty. If the finish on the frame is beginning to show signs of wear, consider giving it a fresh coat of paint. Replace the netting when it frays or has holes that prevent you from being able to use it as designed.
• If the rebounder net doesn’t come with a center target, you can make one yourself. You can either spray paint a bright bullseye in the center of the net or thread an orange ribbon through the netting to form a square target.
• Rebounder nets are sold in a wide price range, which is typically based on the quality of the construction materials, the number of sports that the net can be used with and the portability of the net. You’ll find the Aceletiqs Lacrosse Practice Rebounder Net and the Rukket Sports Pitchback Training Screen & Rebounder Net have a more moderate price tag. You’ll pay the most for nets that can be used to practice four different sports.
